I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Lou Wangyue looked at Su Banxia and asked for her opinion. Su Banxia felt that the amount of silver was enough, since Su Hanzhang and Su Shiyan only had superficial injuries and she could treat them herself.

So Su Banxia nodded as she looked up at the moon from the tower.

Lou Wangyue looked at the person in charge and said coldly:

"Hurry up and give the money to Miss Banxia! If I find out again that you treat your workers so harshly, I will never cooperate with the Lin family again!"

Upon hearing this, the manager hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his brow, hastily handed the silver to Su Banxia, ​​and then repeatedly bowed and apologized.

"I was truly blind to your greatness and offended you. Please feel free to ask me for help in the future."

Having said that, the steward turned his head to the right to look at Lou Wangyue.

"Young Master Lou, I know I was wrong. Could you please not tell our master about this? I promise this will never happen again."

As he spoke, the person in charge knelt down before Lou Wangyue.

Lou Wangyue frowned as she looked at the two two-faced managers and said coldly:

"Kneeling before me won't help. As for whether I'll talk to your boss or not, that depends on my mood."

After saying that, Lou Wangyue walked to Su Banxia's side, took her arm, and said softly:

"Banxia, ​​it's too dirty here. Let's go out. I'll have Jixiang take your father and older brother to the clinic."

Su Banxia nodded to Lou Wangyue. After all that work, she was indeed a bit exhausted, so she let Lou Wangyue help her up.

Ji Xiang followed behind, ordering people to help Su Shiyan and Su Hanzhang out of the cabin.

As soon as everyone disembarked from the merchant ship, they saw Wei Kezhi anxiously searching for someone on the shore.

Seeing this, Su Banxia quickly called out to him:

"Wei Kezhi, I'm here!"

Wei Kezhi turned his head and saw Su Banxia nestled in Lou Wangyue's arms. He immediately frowned and walked over.

"Let go of Banxia!"

Su Banxia had been thinking that she was very grateful to Lou Wangyue for her help today; otherwise, she might not have even made it out of the cabin alive. She was just about to properly thank Lou Wangyue when Wei Kezhi treated her with such an attitude, which immediately ignited Su Banxia's anger.

"Wei Kezhi, why are you yelling at Young Master Lou? Do you know how much he helped me just now? Is this how you treat my benefactor?"

Wei Kezhi had never seen Su Banxia so angry with him before, and was somewhat at a loss for what to do. He quickly reached out to help Su Banxia up.

"Banxia, ​​where did you go just now? I really looked for you everywhere. I was just looking after you from Louwangyue, and I was a little worried about you..."

"No matter how worried you are about me, you shouldn't treat my friend like this!"

As she spoke, Su Banxia slapped away Wei Kezhi's hand that was about to help her up and turned her head to the side.

Seeing that Su Banxia actually slapped his hand away and refused to let go of Lou Wangyue's hand, Wei Kezhi couldn't help but feel sad and disappointed.

"Fine, he's your friend, but I'm not! I'm not your friend!"

After saying that, he ignored Su Banxia and turned to leave.

Just as Lou Wangyue was about to stop Wei Kezhi, Su Banxia grabbed Lou Wangyue's arm.

“You don’t need to call him. He’s always like this, never knowing what’s important and always having a temper. I’m really sorry about what happened earlier. I apologize to you on his behalf.”

Lou Wangyue looked at Su Banxia and smiled gently.

“I don’t need you to apologize to me on his behalf. You are you, and he is him. Besides, I wasn’t angry with him just now, so you don’t need to mind.”

Su Banxia nodded.

"Lou Wangyue, thank you for saving me just now..."

Lou Wangyue couldn't help but reach out and touch Su Banxia's hair, saying softly:

"You don't need to thank me. Didn't you just say that we are friends, and it's only right for friends to help each other?"

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia lowered her head.

"But... but you're always the one helping me, I've never helped you. Being friends with me, you're still at a disadvantage..."

Lou Wangyue couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

"Speaking of which, there is something I'd like to ask you for help with, but I don't know if you're free."

Su Banxia looked up at Lou Wangyue with a puzzled expression.

Is there anything I can help you with?

“My mother will be coming to see me from the capital in a few days. She is an extremely picky eater, and I’m worried that the cooks in my household won’t be able to take good care of her. So I thought you would cook something that’s really delicious.”

As she spoke, Lou Wangyue looked at Su Banxia with great sincerity.

"I was thinking that if you have time, you could come to my house for a visit and try the food. That way, you can give me some pointers on the chefs."

Su Banxia breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Lou Wangyue had spoken so seriously earlier, and she had thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just a small matter.

Not to mention that Lou Wangyue has helped me so many times, just the other day when Lou Wangyue gave me a free oxcart, I should do something for her in return.

Having thought this through, Su Banxia didn't hesitate and smiled, nodding to Lou Wangyue.

"Sure, it's no big deal. I'm free today, but I don't know if it's convenient for you."

Lou Wangyue nodded hurriedly.

“It’s convenient. I just came to invite you to my residence for a visit. As for your father and elder brother, I will have Jixiang take him to the clinic for treatment and then send someone to take him home. You don’t need to worry.”

Seeing that Lou Wangyue had arranged everything so meticulously for her, Su Banxia smiled and said:

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Young Master Lou."

Lou Wangyue waved his hand.

"These are minor matters. Um, I have another request..."

"What? Just tell me if it's within my power!"

“In the future, could you call me by my name just like you call Wei Kezhi? That way, it won’t seem so distant between us.”

Su Banxia thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just this small request. She simply smiled and patted Lou Wangyue on the shoulder.

"Alright, from now on I'll call you Lou Wangyue!"

Lou Wangyue was overjoyed to hear this nickname. At least now Su Banxia didn't feel so distant from her, and their relationship was getting better and better.

He was very fortunate that he had been able to arrive in time when Su Banxia was in trouble. In fact, it was his informant at the city gate who told him that Su Banxia had entered the city, which prompted him to rush to find her.

After asking around, they arrived at the Lin family's merchant ship. They hadn't expected such a thing to happen so soon after boarding. At this moment, Lou Wangyue was incredibly grateful that she had put aside her own affairs to find Su Banxia.

Otherwise, if Su Banxia were to suffer any harm on the Lin family's ship, Lou Wangyue would never forgive herself.

The reason he let the manager off so easily was because he didn't want to appear too violent in front of Su Banxia.

This manager actually dared to harm the woman he cherished most; he absolutely could not let him live any longer…
